Bloodshot Turns 11, Spawns Another Bastard Child

Due to hit the streets on October 25th from Bloodshot Records...


"This 42-track, 2-disc celebration compilation includes a heaping serving of only NEW and PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS from your favorite Bloodshot artists and Bloodshot alumni. There's something here for everyone, including foot stomping, freewheeling, I-think-you-just-saved-my-soul tracks from Scott H. Biram, Bobby Bare Jr., The Waco Brothers, Graham Parker, and Split Lip Rayfield, and heart-wrenching deal breakers from Sally Timms and The Deadstring Brothers, just to name a few.

We arm-wrestled. We bribed. We batted our eyes. We even shoveled pricey whiskey shots down the throats of a few folks who we've long admired from afar, just to bring you the best in only previously unreleased tracks from special guest appearances by top-notch acts including My Morning Jacket, Richard Buckner, Sixteen Horsepower, Milton Mapes, Blanche, Crooked Fingers, The Court and Spark, Nine Pound Hammer, Yayhoos, Cordero, Graham Lindsey, and a glorious mess of others.

Hey, listen folks -- don't even think about calling this compilation a
retrospective -- we're forward thinking and looking forward!"
